Lithium and nitrogen react to produce lithium nitride:
6 Li_(s) + N₂_(g) → 2 Li₃N_(s)
How many moles of lithium nitride are produced when 0.450 mol of lithium react in this fashion?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced chemical equation shows that 6 moles of lithium react with nitrogen to produce 2 moles of lithium nitride. Therefore, 0.450 moles of lithium would produce (0.450 moles Li * 2 moles Li3N / 6 moles Li) = 0.150 moles of lithium nitride.
